SCARF-HOLIDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 7, 1918.

Application filed November 9, 1915, Serial No. 60,540. Renewed October 2, 1917. Serial No. 194,414.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LUDWIG SPANGLER, a subject of the Emperor of Austria, residing at Vienna, Empire of Austria, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Scarf-Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to a holder for a scarf or necktie in which a shank adapted to be attached to the collar stud by means of an eyelet is provided at its lower end with a clamping device adapted to hold in position on the breast part ofthe shirt the free ends of the scarf or necktie.

Heretofore in necktie or scarf holders of this kind the eyelet serving for attaching the same to the collar stud was arranged directly on the top end of the shank and in scarf in knotting the same is folded around this shank, the knot becomes unsymmetrical and leaves the collar stud uncovered so that the scarf looks unsightly.

According to my present invention this deficiency is avoided by arranging the eyelet for the collar stud laterally of the upper end of the shank of the holder. By these means the knot is caused to assume its correct symmetrical position and to cover the collar stud.

, two stages Further my invention comprises a special construction of the eyelet for the collar stud. This construction consists in providing a recess in the body of the eyelet such recess being bridged at one side by a resili ent wire which, when pushed aside, permits the shank of the collar stud to enter into the recessand when released holds the collar stud shank in the recess.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 shows in elevation a scarf holder embodyin'g my invention. Figs. 2 and 3 illustrate in knotting a scarf on my improved scarf holder. Fig. 4 is an elevation of a collar stud eyelet embodying my invention. Figs. 5 to 9 are similar views of modifications of my improved collar stud eyelet.

In Fig. 1, 1 is the shank of the scarf holder 3 a clamping device .of any known or preferred construction at the bottom end of the Shank which clamping device serves for holding the free ends or ends of the knotted scarf in position on the breast part of the shirt and 9 is a socket on the clamping device which serves to receive the point of a scarf pin and which may be of any known or preferred construction. The clamping device 3 and the socket 9 do not form part of my invention and the latter may be dispensed with.

2 is the eyelet at the top end of the shank and serves for attachin the holder to the collar stud, the shank 0 which is indicated at 14. According to my invention this eyelet is arranged laterally of the shank 2. The effect of this arrangement is the following:

IVhen in knotting the scarf one of its ends I) Fig. 2 indicated by hatching is folded at c from the rear side over the shank and then drawn through between the collar and the other half a of the scarf and finally drawn through below the part of the hatched scarf end at the left hand side of the fold a (Fig. 3) whereby the knot is formed in the well known manner, then for the reason that the eyelet is arranged laterally of the shank 1, as shown in the drawings at its left hand side, the knot will not only be in its correct position in the central line of the breast part of the shirt but its upper fold cl will also cover or conceal the collar stud and the eyelet 2. Therefore by my scarf holder the result is obtained that the knot is in correct position and covers the collar stud, and the correct knotting of the scarf is greatly facilitated.

As shown in Fig. 4 the eyelet 2 consists of circular ring 12, provided at its upper part with a recess 10 and secured to the shank 1 of the scarf holder in any known or preferred manner. A resilient wire 11 also secured to the shank in any known or preferred manner extends across the ring 12 at its outer side which in its normal position bridgesthe recess 10 thus shutting the latter oil from the remaining part of the ring 12.

The diameter of the latter is large enough to permit the head of the collar stud to pass through freely, while the dimensions of the recess 10 are such as to permit the shank of the collar stud but not the head of the collar stud to enter.

For attaching the scarf holder to the collar stud the ring 12 is slipped over the head of the stud the cross wire 11 being bent outsid and downw r a d he carf h ld r s resilient Wire bridging the open side of such recess and moreover comprising a loop opening in the opposite direction as the recess one of the sides of the loop being oblique to the said resilient Wire, substantially as and for the purpose described.

6. In a scarf holder the combination of a shank, means carried by the lower end of the shank for clamping the scarf to the breast portion of the shirt and an eyelet carried by the upper end of the shank and adapted to be attached to the collar stud and such eyelet being located laterally of the said shank and comprising a ring the diameter of which is large enough to permit the head of the collar stud to pass through this ring being provided with a recess on its circumference and further comprising a resilient Wire bridging the open side of the said recess substantially in the line of the circumference of the ring and moreover comprising a loop in the ring opening in the opposite direction as the recess, substantially as and for the purpose described.

7. In a scarf holder the combination of a shank, means carried by the lower end of the shank for clamping the scarf to the breast portion of the shirt and an eyelet carried by the upper end of the shank and adapted to be attached to the collar stud such eyelet being located laterally of the said shank and comprising a ring the diameter of Which is large enough to permit the head of the collar stud to pass through this ring being provided With a recess on its circumference and further comprising a resilient Wire bridging the open side of the said recess substantially in the line of the Copies of this patent may be obtained for circumference of the ring and moreover comprising a loop in the ring opening in the opposite direction as the recess one of the sides of the loop' being oblique to the said resilient Wire, substantially as and for the purpose described.

8. In a scarf holder the combination of a shank and an eyelet located laterally at the upper end of the shank such eyelet comprising a ring, a recess 1n the circumference of such ring and a resilient Wire bridging the open end of such recess substantially in the line of the circumference of the ring, the said shank, the ring, the recess and the resilient Wire consisting of a single piece of Wire, substantially as and for the purpose described.

9. In a scarf holder the combination of a shank and an eyelet located laterally at the upper end of the shank such eyelet comprising a ring, a recess in the circumference of such ring and a resilient Wire bridging the open end of such recess substantially in the line of the circumference of the ring and a loop in the ring opening in the opposite direction as the recess, the said shank, the ring, the recess, the loop and the resilient Wire consisting of a single piece of Wire, substantially as and for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of tWo Witnesses.
